hi i'm here (just not rly), leaving for boston in two days (way later than i should be but stuff came up) i have a busy few weeks ahead of me. my summer was very slow, i can't believe it's over already.

yeah.

new layout

woobie

light pastels for the summer.

i wanted a (additional?) photographic header but it seems the floral bar at the top pwns that code. i altered some fonts so they work on my mac so the title font might look funky on a pc. idk, idc tbh.

haven't been up to much. i think this house is driving me mad (i don't leave it much, you see) my mother is being passive-aggressive and it's nerve wrecking D: of course i'm sleeping on a vampire timezone-thing since that how it usually works for me when i get the slightest holiday.

i saw harry potter :) it was quite good. i'm not madly obsessed with it anymore so i didn't think it was fabulous, but it was, in all honesty, enjoyable. i laughed at all their lame jokes and over-exaggerated dramatics. i only ever read that book when it came out so i was straining to remember details.. i couldn't be picky with the 'oh-they-cut-that-scene-and-that-scene-out' which i think is a more fun way to watch a book-to-movie-adaptation. and oh yes, i loved tom riddle being all sinister and draco malfoy being all emo.

hmm going to upload some icons now.

u no am lookin at fabulous blogs and i had a random ~i would like to have a blog~ thought until i realized that wait i do and well. u no :(

um, hi. i got home like two weeks ago? bid my goodbyes to Dublin for good. i got into the College of Arts and Sciences in Northeastern Uni, Boston for this fall, and if all goes as planned (which it will!) me and my sister will be living there together come this August :) (she'll be attending grad school in BU). the sunshine back home is so fabulous. i've just been hanging with the family and friends as much as i can, soaking it up! my sister and i got an amazing camera and i've been taking one too many photos and trying to get the hang of having an SLR in my hand. i love it. have some photos.



l8rs then.

(hi ryskia, this is for you)

new layout.

woobie

first time i haven't made my own header in ages. however, i'm tired, and uninspired, and this guys photography is gorgeous, so it's okay.

at my icon limit. some footie ones will have to go. bye bye, fandom. sadness.

who else gets super attached to old icons? i've had my zomg yay lfc one since 06 and it's not going anywhere anytime soon. that one's just too qt.

who wants to find (make?) me a new layout? (yes, nurl, i got jealous.)

*twiddles thumbs*

you guise, i am so ready for my summer break. i went shopping last weekend and got adorable sundresses and it's still too cold to wear them here (i'm rediculous, i know)

my exams are on june 2nd and i haven't started revising even though i'm going to be tested on a whole years worth of material. this is where i should start to freak out, right?

cramming is how i do it best, this is no secret of mine.

i'm kind of craving the blistering heat of dubai. my 9 months living up north are almost up and i can't wait to get home.

+ Comment to this entry and I'll pick three of your fandoms. You must then update your journal and answer the following questions:
01: What got you into this fandom in the first place?
02: Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
03: Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?
04: Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
05: Do you think that more people should get into this fandom?

cloudsaboveme gave me Harry Potter, Heroes, and MCR!

Harry Potter:
1. I watched the first movie when I was 11 years old :D Instantly fell in love and bought the Chamber of Secrets book right after I came out of the cinema!
2. The last time I was active in this fandom was.... 2004? (damn u guise, that was 5 years ago!)
3. Prisoner of Azkaban's my fav book, and Order of the Phoenix is my fav movie. HBP is going to be SO epic!
4. I used to read a ton of fic, my OTP was Draco/Hermione, and I used to lurk the Fiction Alley forums. I remember participating in discussions when the OotP book came out.
5. If there's someone who hasn't participated in this fandom before then I'd be surprised.

Heroes:
1. Hmm, a lot of ppl I knew kept going on about how good it was so I got my hands on the Season 1 dvds (sometime last year?) and watched the whole season in a week :P
2. I'm not active in the fandom, I just enjoy watching the show. I like waiting for the end of the season to watch it all in one go (so I'm not up-to-date ATM)
3. Fav ep... hmm, I liked ~the return of Sylar~ in S2. I think it was like ep 3 or 4? Fav chara, Sylar because he brings the lulz and Elle because Kristen Bell is hot and her chara was so badass in Heroes.
4. I've read a few Elle/Sylar fics before but nothing really grabbed my interest..
5. People should def. watch the show because it's fun and entertaining and the dramaz~ bring the luls :D As for the fandom, IDK, it's a personal preference... it didn't do it for me, tbh.

MCR:
1. I liked Helena and Ghost of You a lot (back in the day *g*), so I bought Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge. But I didn't like it (still don't), too much emo screamo? Then in late 07 they released The Black Parade and I loved the single so I got the album. TBP is an awesome album, I listened to it loads and I still do occasionally.
2. I'll follow their music. I love Gee and Mikey Way (I followed Mikey on Twitter for a few weeks but he spammed a TON so I stopped :P). I'm not active in the fandom.
3. My favorite songs are The Sharpest Lives, I Don't Love You, and the ones I mentioned above.
4. Not active in the fandom. I did sign up for a Mikey Way graphic challenge on mikeyway_daily though and the deadline is the end of this month so I'll be working on some Mikey stuff for that.
5. Everyone should listen to MCR!

that was fun! now comment so I can give you 3 fandoms! :D

It's interesting to see how the footie fandom is still going strong, when I've completely fallen out of it. I defriended footballslash as well as stevieandxabi ages ago because I lost interest (plus there was more badfic and less goodfic and it just got spammy) but people still post there, and there are some familiar u/ns, but lots I don't recognize too. I also checked out cheekygeeky since I remember it being THE comm to go to if you wanted footie icons, and it seems to have way more variety than just footie icons and graphics, in comparison to 2-3 years back.

While I don't watch LFC matches on a weekly basis, since I don't have the resources and/or time (I do wear my Agger jers on matchdays tho! <3), I still have liverpoolreds on my flist and I follow updates through that, plus, I tried my best to catch all CL matches (european nights were always my favorite! and damn, did we put up one hell of a fight to try and stay in it...) and I still keep tabs on all the league games. Only four left now, it'll be amazing to see them win the league but can they do it? y/n/mb?

All that being said, I made a lot of my friends on lj back when I was active in the footie fandom, and O HAI GUISE, a lot of you still are on my flist, how've you been? :D Do you still watch matches and/or keep up with the fandom? And who's your prediction CL winner? :D I'll say Barca, but that's only cause they're the only ones left that I'd want to see win!

Also, I can't believe WC10 is next summer. Wow, huh? I remember WC06 like it was last year <3333

no i do not want to join your comm to view the icons. what the fuck is up with that? don't post in public if your icons are set to private! keep the public for the PUBLIC! D:

i just got back from austin, visited my sis on the easter/spring break. it was really, really nice. i wish i could've stayed longer.

my sunday to-do list today looks like this, in order of priority (shockhorror!):

-clean up my very dusty flat
-unpack
-do the laundry
-go downtown for a) groceries and b) a new bus pass
-finish off final draft of econ report due tomo end of this week (yes!)
-mb make a new header & set up a layout
-type up fic

yes, fic. i did that meme on the plane, the one where you have to shuffle your music and write something based off of a song, and write it within the length of that song. you do 10, i managed to do 8. it was fun, but i scribbled everywhere and there will be much revision when i type em up. plus i maaaaay have listened to some songs twice, but i honestly didn't spend more than 6 minutes on each one >,< but! they were very self-indulgent and it was challenging. it reminded me of the 2-5 min sketches we would do in life drawing class back when i did my art course in london. i miss it.

anyway, anyway, that's a lot to do for today and i'm going to nap now because i didn't sleep a wink on that 7 hour flight. i am not looking forward to getting back to classes tomorrow.

oh BTW, i got a twitter a while back. i'm tiima on there. follow me if you wish :D

so tell me flist, how's your sunday gonna go?

justice to the 96, ynwa ♥

what's a weekend if you have to do homework :(

LOOK WHAT I GOT IN THE MAIL!



:DDDDDDDDdd

spent all of saturday finishing off a big analysis report with my group on saturday, slept way too much on sunday, stayed up until 5 am, had class at 9 am monday (this morning) halfway thru the class realized i forgot said project at home and it's due today, had to come back (one hour, two buses) and i have to leave again in an hour for class D:

this is my lyf!

eta

footie slashers on my flist: if you haven't read this by audiologic (who wrote the epic stevie/xabi istanbul fic) yet then you definitely should because it's also epic and made of win and hasn't received nearly as much love as it deserves! besides it's speedy!fic and who doesn't still adore speedy even though he disappeared?

Downloading this because gorgeous album art is enough to convince me that I should get a fanmix- plus that song! Weapon by Matthew Good. It's so damn pretty and yet I don't think I've ever had it on my iPod before.

Today was a good day because I got my first acceptance from a uni in the U.S *g* Syracuse University want me, apparently! XD

Thank God I have class at 11 tomorrow. And Friday! TGIF! Well, almost anyway.

I got a fantastic new art book called Hand Job and it's all about hand-written typography, something I'm really into atm. Really awesome stuff *nods*

LEATHER JACKET! I haz it :D It is not the (overpriced) Diesel one I saw back in Dubai and kind of fell in love with but it's genuine black leather and awesome, plus from one of my favorite Spanish shops. I can't wait to start layering with hoodies :D

The weather's become a tad colder these past two days, boo. I demand sunshine!

1. hit snooze eighty times on the alarm
2. hit snooze eighty times on my phone
3. wake up 15 minutes after i'm supposed to
4. stumble to bathroom and wash up
5. open my closet and stare at it for 5 minutes
6. get a bowl of cereal
7. choose an outfit
8. change the outfit 3 times (on good days, not once!)
9. put on some basic make up so it doesn't look like i got 3 hours of sleep
10. shoes
11. double check i have my keys and ipod
12. grab the bus
13. finally, STARBUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111

(except i only indulge in a starbucks white mocha once or twice a week)

and that my friends, is what i'm going to be doing approx 5 hours from now. have a nice day!

Was surfing EVB (NSFW, btw) and all the pretty boys and the gorgeous photographs of them and I fell in love with a photo and needed it on my desktop, so I made this:



God, I could just die of the cute.
